We had a surprise visit from Mats, a friend of Kris' through work. He squealed to a stop in our driveway with a spray of gravel one Saturday morning. The kids' jaws dropped...did we know someone who drove such a cool car? After we oohed and aahed, Mats offered to take the kids for a spin. The girls climbed in together, Mats lowered his sunglasses, and they blasted off....literally! I'm not sure what the neighbors thought of our shenanigans! The girls returned in a few minutes, safe and sound. I guess it was a bit tense for the girls when Mats stopped the car and unbuckled them and told them they could stand up if they wanted. The girls were quick to say that they weren't allowed and home they came. I'm still not completely sure that Mats was joking!!
Next, Graeme climbed in the car for his turn. Mats did a quick 180-degree turn then offered to Kris to take Graeme for a ride. Kris looked a little hesitant as he buckled up...this was Mats' baby, after all. Needless to say, Graeme had a much more sedate drive in the sports car, and by now, the neighbors had let their children back outside. Thanks for the fun, Mats!
